Review of Reaching into Silence, a debut novel by Linda Sammaritan and the first book in the World Without Sound series written for middle and teen readers, but enjoyed by all

The Rebeccas delve into the plot, characters - Debbie, the older daughter in an Air Force family, and Krista, her newborn sister - and relevance of this story for today's families. The focus on family values and familial love make this a heart-warming story that will touch the hearts of young, old, and everyone in between. Authors who want to learn about fictionalized memoirs should listen to this episode as well as readers who are looking for a story they can share with the entire family or any family with a child who requires special attention for any reason.
